unveiled plans (right) on Friday to transform its Silicon Valley headquarters
(inset) into a 'mixed-use village' complete with retail shops and 1,500
homes. Plans for the 'Willow Campus' were spurred by inadequate housing and
public transit for Facebook employees, according to vice president of global

said the company wanted to contribute to the community, and the 1,500 housing
units will be available to anyone - not just employees - with 15 percent being
offered at below market rates. Pictured left, CEO Mark Zuckerberg |
